[Resolved] Wrapping Types field in a (registered) third-party shortcode not working

I am trying to:
Use a plugin (Email Encoder Bundle) to encode email addresses and phone numbers in a table that is dynamically generated in a view. My client is concerned about bots harvesting email and phones....

The email encoding happens automatically (supposedly—I haven't confirmed yet), but the phone numbers need to be wrapped in a shortcode [eeb_content][/eeb_content]. From my View I have:

[eeb_content][types field="phone"][/types][/eeb_content]

I'm uploading a cropped screen grab so the names and email addresses aren't fully visible. I can send you a link to the page, privately.

Thanks,
Eric

It's possible the Email Encoder Bundle plugin isn't able to interpret any shortcodes, not just Types shortcodes. If that is the case, you will need a custom shortcode that uses the eeb_content function with the types_render_field function. Add this code to your child theme's functions.php file:

function ts_eeb_field_func($atts) {
  global $post;
  $a = shortcode_atts( array(
      'field' => '',
      'id' => $post->ID,
  ), $atts );
  $field = types_render_field( $a['field'], array( 'id'=>$a['id'] ));
  return eeb_content( $field );
}
add_shortcode("ts-eeb-field", "ts_eeb_field_func");

Then instead of using the eeb_content and types field shortcodes, use the new custom shortcode:

[ts-eeb-field field='your-field-slug'][/ts-eeb-field]

That worked! Had to double-check the shortcode names though; one read "ts-eeb-field" and the other was "ts-eeb-content". Once those were consistent, bingo!

Thank you very much!
